Abstract :
In this paper, a digital beamforming radar system for automotive short range radar system is presented. It takes advantage of multiple transmitters for increasing the angular resolution. The main focus of this paper is on the optimization of the array configuration to obtain a system for integration into vehicles. A digital beamforming simulator shows the comparison of different configurations.
